DC CHRONICLES: THE SANDMAN STATUE

DC CHRONICLES: DEATH STATUE

SCULPTED BY MICHAEL LOCASCIO

The Sandman and his older sister, Death, are the next in the popular DC
Chronicles statue line, celebrating the legacy of Vertigo!

As two of the seven siblings from The Endless, The Sandman and Death
have epitomized the very essence of the Vertigo line: smart, serious
and edgy. Written by New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman,
The Sandman saga opened new horizons for comics and graphic novels.

The DC Chronicles statue line has a consistent base, and the retro-style
logo on the base further gives the piece a sense of the period from
which it originated.

These limited-edition, hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain statues measure
approximately 7.75” high x 5” wide x 3.5” deep for The Sandman and 7.5”
high x 5” wide x 3.5” deep for Death and each is packaged in a 4-color
box with a 4-color Certificate of Authenticity.

Limited Editions.
